We have owned and taken care of dogs for over 25 years and recently had to say goodbye to our yellow lab Jake. We are now looking forward to taking care of your dog and will provide them the same love, care & attention we provided to Jake. We know how important it is to have worry free dog care when you are away from home. We will provide that peace of mind to you.

My dog had the best time with John and Gretchen! They sent lots of updates and she looked like she had a great time going for walks and playing with her toys! I would definitely love to have them watch my dog again!

Our guy Finn stayed with John and Gretchen for a long weekend and he had a great time! He was given plenty of walks, sniffing and lap sitting time and everyone enjoyed each other’s company. Thanks again for watching Finn!

Cali was well cared for while we were away. We are so pleased with the daily communication, photos and updates about her. We could tell that Cali was very comfortable with John and Gretchen. We also were made aware of Cali not feeling well; and Jon and Gretchen made sure that she was comfortable until she was better. We hope that Jon and Gretchen are available to take care of Cali again in the future. Thank you!!
